A friend and I went karting and the track was all corners. He was maybe 20-30kg heavier than me and he could take every corner flat out, but my car would just slide, so I’d say it also depends on the track and karts

I wonder if me being under 100lbs would make a difference, I imagine that’s way below the average kart drivers (or male kart drivers, anyway)

so aitken, a test f1 driver gets 56.55 at 60KG
you at 110 kg get 57.68
so in the end, 50 KG is the difference of 1,1 second cuz you and jack are equal in skill XD

So a tenth for every 10kg

rental karts have solid chassis but a bit weak, which create some ondulation / resonance in some part of the track which reduces grip, my theory is that if you’re too light, the resonant frequency is to high and detrimental to handling, adding 20kg might bring you to a “sweeter” spot. The kart must be tuned to an average joe size and if you’re under you may be handicapped in terms of handling.

It would not be like that on tarmac!

Because is an indoor, in the karting of my city that is outdoor the time are 2 seconds slower than without the 20kg, only brake in two corners.

So this is why I lost to those kids. I literally weigh 60kg more.

In owner karts, it is a huge difference.

I know this is 2 years in the past but just went to reading teamsport karting and first time on the track 3rd time karting ever and i excited to say my best lap was 3 tenths quicker than jacks also jack I use you in f1 my team😅

theres definately a sweet spot when it comes to weight, idk if youve ever went karting as a 12 year old but youre sliding all over the place
Toto Wolff's Table
I think the placement of the weight definitely had a big role to play. Behind your back isn’t exactly comfortable and if you’re not comfortable in a drive then youll most likely lose a few tenths as well
Eugene
I ran Briggs Masters for 3 years. Had to carry around close to 60 lbs to make minimum weight. For my last race made sure I qualified last and pulled all the weight off my kart . WOW what a difference!!!!! On section of track was downhill and kept putting left tires on paint. Eventually lead to a bumpy off track excursion! . Never had I enjoyed a screw up like that 😁🏁.

As Jack says you still have more weight higher up being a bigger guy. I have more appreciation for the taller guys in single seater racing and F1 such as George Russell
